Keith Abraham PTSD

Psychedelic healthcare and PTSD

It is estimated 15 million people suffer from PTSD each year, with wide-reaching socioeconomic consequences.

Many of those afflicted are ex-armed forces and emergency services personnel, with SSRIs typically the frontline treatment.

However, many patients do not respond to these medications and, as a result, go untreated – developing comorbidities such as major depressive disorder, substance abuse and suicidality.

When conventional treatments fail, Heroic Hearts UK connects British veterans with PTSD to psychedelic-assisted therapy services around the world.

CEO Keith Abraham will be joining industry leaders at the PSYCH Symposium on Wednesday 11 May, to share insights from the organisation’s extraordinary work.
